I received my Cuisinart 4-Slice Metal Classic toaster as a gift from my family and it has truly been the best toaster I've ever used!  The look and feel of the toaster is half the appeal.  It has a brushed stainless exterior that shines like chrome!  It has a dual-control feature so that you can set the left pair of slots differently than the right pair.

It's very easy to clean and has a simple slide-out crumb tray.  The unit also boasts extra wide slots and a bagel function (just push the bagel button!).

Since this was a gift, I had no idea how much it cost until looking online recently. ...
